Looking over the code it does not appear to actually do anything.

If you want something like this check out https://pterodactyl.io/

It has pre-built support for like 100 games: https://github.com/pterodactyl/game-eggs

Or: https://linuxgsm.com/ - 130+ game servers.

CLI only though, but really nice.

I wouldn't limit yourself to describing it as a game server daemon. It's effectively a IAAS / PAAS platform if you switch to a plugin model for those games. Well done.

Can you add a License to the repo please?

Strong suggestion, do not run game servers in docker containers

itzg's docker image for Minecraft makes life quite a bit easier - switching mod loader, versions etc. with environment variables is simpler than continuously downloading versions and juggling directories.

Why not? Docker is effectively free on Linux. You only get the performance hit on macOS and Windows (since it runs the containers in a hidden Linux VM).

Created 3 weeks ago. 27 commits, half of which seem to be version bumps.

Why should anyone want to use this, OP?
